Stella Hardesty, avenger of wronged women, is getting cozy
with Sheriff Goat Jones when a tornado blows none other
than Goat's scheming ex-wife, Brandy, through the front
door. Adding to the chaos, the tornado destroys the snack
shack at the demolition derby track, pulling up the
concrete and unearthing a woman's body. The main suspect
for the dumping is Neb Donovan. Years ago, Neb's wife
asked Stella for help getting him sober. Stella doesn't
believe the gentle man could kill any woman, and she
promises his frantic wife she'll look into it. Former
client Chrissy Shaw, now fully employed at Stella's sewing
shop, helps with snooping around as Stella must negotiate
with the unpredictable Brandy and the dangerously alluring
sheriff. This is the thrilling sequel to Sophie
Littlefield's award-winning debut featuring Stella
Hardesty, one of the most applauded and exciting new
heroines in crime fiction today.
